Stylish, witty stories from women writers told with an energy that will dazzle and delight This bold, sharp-eyed anthology casts a crystalline light on contemporary lives. Aligning modern dilemmas with ancient themes--such as fertility, loneliness, and survival--Ali Smith, Liza Cody, Amy Prior, Helen Cross, and many more fresh, unsung voices present 21 majestic stories that illuminate the courage of everyday people.
